Societe Generale Group is celebrating 10 years of business in Montenegro, and the bank has decided to mark this jubilee with donations and sponsorship worth 30.000 euros.
"After 10 years of operations in Montenegro, the bank supports the economy and the population of Montenegro 10 times more than in 2005, when Societe Generale Group took over Podgorica banka", the announcement states, adding that this is confirmed by comparative data from 2005 and in 2015
"In 2005, loans amounted to 31 million euros in total, and today they amount to almost 300 million euros. The situation is similar with deposits, in 2005 they amounted to 40 million euros, and today they amount to more than 330 million euros. These numbers are a confirmation of the high confidence of economic entities and the population of Montenegro in Societe Generale Bank Montenegro".
As a sign of gratitude, Societe Generale Bank Montenegro marked the anniversary with donations and sponsorship. Donations, worth 10.000 euros each, are intended for the Clinical Center of Montenegro, the Podgorica Health Center, while the traditional cooperation with the Montenegrin National Theater continued.
Two CTG devices were donated to the Clinic for Gynecology and Obstetrics at the Clinical Center. The devices will improve the monitoring of the development of the fetus during pregnancy, that is, the monitoring of tones and heart actions in babies during pregnancy. Two modern video colposcopes were donated to the health center in Podgorica. In this way, gynecological diagnostics will be significantly improved and will contribute to the prevention of cervical cancer, the announcement states.
With CNP, the bank established a partnership for the first time back in 2011, and today it is an example of quality cooperation between the business sector and cultural institutions.
